Stone Down Gorge

 is a location in Tyranny. It is unlocked during the course of The Tiers Will Shake (Disfavored), Cairn's Final Song (Scarlet Chorus) and Blood Trophy (Anarchist). On the Rebels path, it is unlocked during Unlikely Allies after previously recruiting the Bronze Brotherhood.

Background
The territory of Stone Down is a dangerous gorge, recently reclaimed by the Stonestalkers following the Edict of Stone's casting. The destroyed and half-buried buildings embedded in this gorge are the last remnants of one of Azure's former cities. It has since been taken over by the Stonestalkers, a tribe of Beastmen that aggressively guard their claimed territory. Stone Down Gorge connects to one of the few traversable routes leading north, making it a vital connection point in the Stone Sea.
